windows 7 x64 - Visual Studio 2012 and Program Compatibility Assistant

Question

I have been successfully using VS2012 on Win7-x64 for months now. Today after restarting my machine launching VS2012 brings up this compatibility dialog:

Clicking "Check for solutions Online" has no effect. I could run the program with "Run Program" but then VS2012 is not stable and I cannot run our custom development and source-control plugins.

Did anyone else ran into this issue with VS2012 or any ideas? Appreciate your help.

Best, Sarang
